## ZOOM-C++

The ZOOM library in this distribution implements the ZOOM C++ binding
described on the
[ZOOM C++ binding web-site](https://zoom.z3950.org/bind/cplusplus/).

It provides a simple but powerful API for constructing Z39.50 client
applications.  See the documentation in doc/zoom.xml for much more
information.
